Active clinical trials for "Hernia, Inguinal"

The current study aims to determine whether a use of closed suction drain following laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery performed for an inguinoscrotal variety can decrease the incidence of symptomatic seroma formation requiring interventions and thus, prevent postoperative morbidity.

To evaluate the postoperative pain and the relapse after the repair of the inguinal hernia by Lichtenstein technique with four different mesh types with different types of fixation in patients undergoing major ambulatory surgery.

The best approach for simultaneous repair of bilateral inguinal hernia is controversial. The aim of this study is to compare the outcomes after laparoscopic versus open mesh repair of bilateral primary inguinal hernia

The purpose of the study is to investigate whether chronic postoperative pain is less frequent and quality of life better when inguinal mesh is fixed by using tissue glue compared to conventional sutures in inguinal hernioplasty.

Tension-less mesh repair is the most common procedure for inguinal hernia. Conventional heavy weight polypropylene meshes have been reported to stimulate inflammatory reaction and this is responsible for mesh shrinkage and postoperative chronic groin pain. Moreover, the fixation of the mesh with sutures is a tedious procedure and accounts for the majority of the operating time. A self gripping semi-absorbable mesh has been developed for anterior tension free inguinal hernia repair. It has the benefit of light weight property and does not require sutures for fixation. This study aims to compare the outcome of this self-gripping light weight mesh with the conventional heavy weight polypropylene mesh in inguinal hernia repair.

The purpose of this study was to compare the recurrence rate after TEP (laparoscopic method) and Lichtenstein (open method) repair on primary inguinal hernia.

This is a prospective randomized study to evaluate the recovery of a hernia inguinalis by a minimally invasive open preperitoneal surgery with polysoft mesh versus a classic open surgery according to modified Lichtenstein procedure with light weight mesh.

Aim is to evaluate outcomes of inguinal hernia repair incorporating the standard Lichtenstein (open) repair using Biodesign IHM in a double blind (physician evaluator and patient will be blinded), randomized, prospective comparative study with polypropylene mesh. Primary outcome is recurrence at 1 year. Hernia recurrence will be confirmed via ultrasound or CT scan.

The purpose of this study was to compare between laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) and totally extraperitoneal (TEP) repair of inguinal hernia in recurrent inguinal hernia.

CycloMesh is a polyester visceral implant functionalized by drug delivery systems directly on its surface, targeting a unique intervention, a slow anesthetic release and an in situ activity. Based on the fact that cyclodextrins are capable of forming inclusion complexes with amino-amide anaesthetic agents, ropivacaine and cyclodextrins were combined on a commercial visceral mesh.This enables CycloMesh to release ropivacaine for a sustained period in order to improve patient's comfort after inguinal hernia surgery. The underlying hypothesis of this work is that clinical gain is achieved by adding a drug delivery system to visceral mesh for the local and prolonged delivery of ropivacaine. This should results in an improvement in quality of life, a reduction in pain and a faster returning to work following treatment of inguinal hernia by lichtenstein technique.
